High S/N equivalent or better than BSI camera
The graph below compares the readout noise distribution with the Gen II BSI camera* and shows that the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT3 has more pixels with smaller readout noise.
With a low readout noise of 1.5 electrons rms, the ORCA-Flash4.0 LT3 delivers high S/N comparable to or better than a BSI camera, especially in the low light range.
This performance can be demonstrated in high quality multidimensional imaging, as typified by long time-lapse imaging with low excitation light with low phototoxicity
